To get this out of the way, I’m totally neutral about cryptocurrency - I’ve been following Bitcoin for several years and have been watching most of the other coins closely over the last year or so. While it’s easy to say “in hindsight, I should have bought here and sold here,” life doesn’t work like that. Here’s why I’ve yet to invest in Cryptocurrency. Snap/Insta: GPStephan
While the blockchain technology behind it is extremely interesting and I think we’ll have a bright future ahead of us in terms of what Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can offer, right now I see the market as being driven by speculation instead of utility. This means that there’s no “real” reason Bitcoin should be at $10,000 as there is that it should be at $5000, other than the promise of it being adopted on a much larger scale.
I should also note that the more attention bitcoin gets, the higher the price, the more people want to get in, the more other people notice this and want to get in too, which creates a social network-like effect where the more people that adopt it, the more value it actually has, and the more the price will stabilize.
So in this regard, speculation in a cryptocurrency is necessary to growing it on a large scale. People have to take a risk on this and they’re rewarded handsomely if it pays off. In order for this to stabilize to a point where speculation doesn’t drive the market, it has to be accepted and seen as a normalized form a currency on a very large scale. The value of bitcoin is pretty much entirely dependent on how many people use it.
But this is where I see it getting complicated. While I think Bitcoin does have a strong intrinsic value and I’d love to see this adopted on a larger scale, I wonder how much of bitcoin’s value RIGHT NOW is speculative and how much of its value is “real?” And this is what I’ve yet to figure out and where I get uneasy about investing.
I know a lot of people compare bitcoin to gold, and in a sense this is a good point - older generations have seen gold as a safe store of value, just as our younger generation sees gold as being “old” and that Bitcoin is a better store of deflationary, decentralized currency. In a sense, they’re right. And as more younger people begin adopting this, especially as these are the people already exposed to a digital word, I can see this continuing. But it should be noted that when the dollar went off the gold standard in 1979, Gold Prices spiked significantly before settling down several years later and stabilized. Could we be in the same “run up” like gold saw, if the two are compared to one another?
It’s easy to look back and see what I should’ve done, but I also feel just as much that things could have turned out very differently. This is why I’ve yet to have invested in cryptocurrency and why I’ve remained focus on real estate investing and creating passive income.

What is the difference between Bitcoin and "blockchain"? Blockchains are only one of the foundational technologies. In an attempt to co-opt the interest around Bitcoin, companies and governments are trying to circle the square by creating centralised and permissioned versions while entirely missing the point: decentralization.
This is part of a talk which took place at Pebble Beach for the Capgemini CXOForum on November 1-3rd 2017 in Monterey, California.

In this talk, Andreas explores the rise of the term "blockchain" as a counterweight to bitcoin. The term blockchain does not provide a definition, as it has been diluted to be meaningless. Saying "blockchain" simply invites questions, such as "what is the consensus algorithm". Meanwhile, bitcoin continues to offer an alternative to the traditional financial system. Andreas looks at the value of private ledgers, which he sees as having a small impact on finance, versus open, global and accessible payment and currency systems such as bitcoin which he sees as fostering a global revolution in finance and access to financial tools.

In this talk, Andreas recounts the origins of Bitcoin, the meaning of the message embedded forever in its genesis block, and how we figured out who the banks truly serve when there was no other choice. He also speaks about what happens when money stops working, why censorship resistance was one of Bitcoin's most valuable characteristics from the start, and what possibilities lay in store with a global, voluntary financial system.

Bit (money)

The word bit is a colloquial expression referring to specific coins in various coinages throughout the world.

United States

In the United States, the bit is equal to one eighth of a dollar or 121⁄2cents. In the U.S., the "bit" as a designation for money dates from the colonial period, when the most common unit of currency used was the Spanish dollar, also known as "piece of eight", which was worth 8 Spanish silver reales. One eighth of a dollar or one silver real was one "bit".

With the adoption of the decimal U.S. currency in 1794, there was no longer a U.S. coin worth 1⁄8 of a dollar but "two bits" remained in the language with the meaning of one quarter dollar, "four bits" half dollar, etc. Because there was no one-bit coin, a dime (10¢) was sometimes called a short bit and 15¢ a long bit. (The picayune, which was originally 1⁄2real or 1⁄2bit (61⁄4¢), was similarly transferred to the US 5¢-piece.)

In addition, Spanish coinage, like other foreign coins, continued to be widely used and allowed as legal tender by Chapter XXII of the Act of April 10, 1806 until the Coinage Act of 1857 discontinued the practice.

List of Tron characters

This article covers notable characters of Tron franchise, including all of its various cinematic, literary, video game adaptations and sequels.

Development

For the first film, Richard Rickitt explains that to "produce the characters who inhabit the computer world, actors were dressed in costumes that were covered in black-and-white computer circuitry designs....With coloured light shining through the white areas of their costumes, the resulting characters appeared to glow as if lit from within....optical processes were used to create all of the film's computerized characters..." Frederick S. Clarke reports that "Tron: Legacy will combine live action with CGI," adding that "several characters...will be completely digital..."

Tron

Kevin Flynn

Kevin Flynn is a former employee at the fictional software company ENCOM and the protagonist of the first film. He is played by Jeff Bridges.

At the start of the first film, he is manager of "Flynn's", a video arcade where he impresses his patrons with his skills at games that (unknown to them) he designed at ENCOM, but remains determined to find evidence that CEO Ed Dillinger plagiarised Flynn's work to advance his position within the company. Throughout most of the film, Flynn travels around the digital world, accompanying the eponymous character Tron; but later discovers that as a User, he commands the physical laws of the digital world, enabling him beyond the abilities of an ordinary program. Eventually, he enables Tron to destroy the Master Control Program shown to oppress the digital world, and upon return to the material world obtains the evidence necessary to expose Dillinger, and becomes ENCOM's CEO himself.

Two pounds (British coin)

The Britishtwo pound (£2) coin is a denomination of the pound sterling. Its obverse has featured the profile of Queen Elizabeth II since the coin’s introduction. Two different portraits of the Queen have been used, with the latest design by Jody Clark being introduced in 2015. The reverse features an abstract design symbolising the history of technological achievement. A new reverse design featuring Britannia began to enter circulation during 2015.

The coin was introduced on 15 June 1998 (coins minted 1997) after a review of the United Kingdom's coinage decided that a general-circulation £2 coin was needed. The new bi-metallic design replaced a series of commemorative, uni-metallic coins which were issued between 1986 and 1996 to celebrate special occasions. Although legal tender, these coins have never been common in everyday circulation.

As of March 2014 there were an estimated 417 million £2 coins in circulation with an estimated face value of £831.756 million.

Five pounds (British coin)

The Britishfive pound (£5) coin is a commemorative denomination of the pound sterling. Its obverse has featured the profile of Queen Elizabeth II since the coin’s introduction in 1990. Two different portraits of the Queen have graced the coin, with the latest design by Ian Rank-Broadley being introduced in 1998. The coin has no standard reverse, which is altered each year to commemorate important events. Variant obverses have also been used on occasion.

The coin is a continuation of the crown, which after decimalisation become the commemorative twenty-five pence coin. The twenty-five pence was discontinued in 1981 after creating a large coin with such small value became prohibitively expensive. The five pound coin shares the same dimensions as the twenty-five pence coin but has a value twenty times greater.

Five pound coins are legal tender but are intended as souvenirs and are rarely seen in circulation. The coins are sold by the Royal Mint at face value and also, with presentation folders, at a premium to that face value. The 2010 coins, with such folders, were sold for £9.95 each.

The network timestamps transactions by including them in blocks that link to form a chain called the block chain. Such blocks cannot be changed without redoing the work that created each block down the chain from the modified block. The chain serves as proof of the sequence of events and that this sequence was verified by a majority of the bitcoin network's computing power. As long as a majority of computing power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they will outpace attackers. This provides a means of providing security not found in other protocols.

Bitcoin nears $10k: Why I’m NOT investing in Bitcoin (The Truth)

To get this out of the way, I’m totally neutral about cryptocurrency - I’ve been following Bitcoin for several years and have been watching most of the other coins closely over the last year or so. While it’s easy to say “in hindsight, I should have bought here and sold here,” life doesn’t work like that. Here’s why I’ve yet to invest in Cryptocurrency. Snap/Insta: GPStephan
While the blockchain technology behind it is extremely interesting and I think we’ll have a bright future ahead of us in terms of what Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can offer, right now I see the market as being driven by speculation instead of utility. This means that there’s no “real” reason Bitcoin should be at $10,000 as there is that it should be at $5000, other than the promise of it being adopted on a much larger scale.
I should also note that the more attention bitcoin gets, the higher the price, the more people want to get in, the more other people notice this and want to get in too, which creates a social network-like effect where the more people that adopt it, the more value it actually has, and the more the price will stabilize.
So in this regard, speculation in a cryptocurrency is necessary to growing it on a large scale. People have to take a risk on this and they’re rewarded handsomely if it pays off. In order for this to stabilize to a point where speculation doesn’t drive the market, it has to be accepted and seen as a normalized form a currency on a very large scale. The value of bitcoin is pretty much entirely dependent on how many people use it.
But this is where I see it getting complicated. While I think Bitcoin does have a strong intrinsic value and I’d love to see this adopted on a larger scale, I wonder how much of bitcoin’s value RIGHT NOW is speculative and how much of its value is “real?” And this is what I’ve yet to figure out and where I get uneasy about investing.
I know a lot of people compare bitcoin to gold, and in a sense this is a good point - older generations have seen gold as a safe store of value, just as our younger generation sees gold as being “old” and that Bitcoin is a better store of deflationary, decentralized currency. In a sense, they’re right. And as more younger people begin adopting this, especially as these are the people already exposed to a digital word, I can see this continuing. But it should be noted that when the dollar went off the gold standard in 1979, Gold Prices spiked significantly before settling down several years later and stabilized. Could we be in the same “run up” like gold saw, if the two are compared to one another?
It’s easy to look back and see what I should’ve done, but I also feel just as much that things could have turned out very differently. This is why I’ve yet to have invested in cryptocurrency and why I’ve remained focus on real estate investing and creating passive income.

What is the difference between Bitcoin and "blockchain"? Blockchains are only one of the foundational technologies. In an attempt to co-opt the interest around Bitcoin, companies and governments are trying to circle the square by creating centralised and permissioned versions while entirely missing the point: decentralization.
This is part of a talk which took place at Pebble Beach for the Capgemini CXOForum on November 1-3rd 2017 in Monterey, California.

"Blockchain" or Bitcoin: Understanding the differences

In this talk, Andreas explores the rise of the term "blockchain" as a counterweight to bitcoin. The term blockchain does not provide a definition, as it has been diluted to be meaningless. Saying "blockchain" simply invites questions, such as "what is the consensus algorithm". Meanwhile, bitcoin continues to offer an alternative to the traditional financial system. Andreas looks at the value of private ledgers, which he sees as having a small impact on finance, versus open, global and accessible payment and currency systems such as bitcoin which he sees as fostering a global revolution in finance and access to financial tools.

Bitcoin's Origins and the Genesis Blockade

In this talk, Andreas recounts the origins of Bitcoin, the meaning of the message embedded forever in its genesis block, and how we figured out who the banks truly serve when there was no other choice. He also speaks about what happens when money stops working, why censorship resistance was one of Bitcoin's most valuable characteristics from the start, and what possibilities lay in store with a global, voluntary financial system.
This talk took place on August 6th 2018 as part of 'The Internet of Money Tour' at the Hilton DenverInverness in Denver, Colorado: https://antonopoulos.com/event/arapahoe-libraries-talk/

To get this out of the way, I’m totally neutral about cryptocurrency - I’ve been following Bitcoin for several years and have been watching most of the other coins closely over the last year or so. While it’s easy to say “in hindsight, I should have bought here and sold here,” life doesn’t work like that. Here’s why I’ve yet to invest in Cryptocurrency. Snap/Insta: GPStephan
While the blockchain technology behind it is extremely interesting and I think we’ll have a bright future ahead of us in terms of what Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can offer, right now I see the market as being driven by speculation instead of utility. This means that there’s no “real” reason Bitcoin should be at $10,000 as there is that it should be at $5000, other than the promise of it being adopted on a much larger scale.
I should also note that the more attention bitcoin gets, the higher the price, the more people want to get in, the more other people notice this and want to get in too, which creates a social network-like effect where the more people that adopt it, the more value it actually has, and the more the price will stabilize.
So in this regard, speculation in a cryptocurrency is necessary to growing it on a large scale. People have to take a risk on this and they’re rewarded handsomely if it pays off. In order for this to stabilize to a point where speculation doesn’t drive the market, it has to be accepted and seen as a normalized form a currency on a very large scale. The value of bitcoin is pretty much entirely dependent on how many people use it.
But this is where I see it getting complicated. While I think Bitcoin does have a strong intrinsic value and I’d love to see this adopted on a larger scale, I wonder how much of bitcoin’s value RIGHT NOW is speculative and how much of its value is “real?” And this is what I’ve yet to figure out and where I get uneasy about investing.
I know a lot of people compare bitcoin to gold, and in a sense this is a good point - older generations have seen gold as a safe store of value, just as our younger generation sees gold as being “old” and that Bitcoin is a better store of deflationary, decentralized currency. In a sense, they’re right. And as more younger people begin adopting this, especially as these are the people already exposed to a digital word, I can see this continuing. But it should be noted that when the dollar went off the gold standard in 1979, Gold Prices spiked significantly before settling down several years later and stabilized. Could we be in the same “run up” like gold saw, if the two are compared to one another?
It’s easy to look back and see what I should’ve done, but I also feel just as much that things could have turned out very differently. This is why I’ve yet to have invested in cryptocurrency and why I’ve remained focus on real estate investing and creating passive income.

What is the difference between Bitcoin and "blockchain"? Blockchains are only one of the foundational technologies. In an attempt to co-opt the interest around Bitcoin, companies and governments are trying to circle the square by creating centralised and permissioned versions while entirely missing the point: decentralization.
This is part of a talk which took place at Pebble Beach for the Capgemini CXOForum on November 1-3rd 2017 in Monterey, California.

In this talk, Andreas explores the rise of the term "blockchain" as a counterweight to bitcoin. The term blockchain does not provide a definition, as it has been diluted to be meaningless. Saying "blockchain" simply invites questions, such as "what is the consensus algorithm". Meanwhile, bitcoin continues to offer an alternative to the traditional financial system. Andreas looks at the value of private ledgers, which he sees as having a small impact on finance, versus open, global and accessible payment and currency systems such as bitcoin which he sees as fostering a global revolution in finance and access to financial tools.

In this talk, Andreas recounts the origins of Bitcoin, the meaning of the message embedded forever in its genesis block, and how we figured out who the banks truly serve when there was no other choice. He also speaks about what happens when money stops working, why censorship resistance was one of Bitcoin's most valuable characteristics from the start, and what possibilities lay in store with a global, voluntary financial system.
This talk took place on August 6th 2018 as part of 'The Internet of Money Tour' at the Hilton DenverInverness in Denver, Colorado: https://antonopoulos.com/event/arapahoe-libraries-talk/

Bitcoin nears $10k: Why I’m NOT investing in Bitcoin (The Truth)

To get this out of the way, I’m totally neutral about cryptocurrency - I’ve been following Bitcoin for several years and have been watching most of the other coins closely over the last year or so. While it’s easy to say “in hindsight, I should have bought here and sold here,” life doesn’t work like that. Here’s why I’ve yet to invest in Cryptocurrency. Snap/Insta: GPStephan
While the blockchain technology behind it is extremely interesting and I think we’ll have a bright future ahead of us in terms of what Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can offer, right now I see the market as being driven by speculation instead of utility. This means that there’s no “real” reason Bitcoin should be at $10,000 as there is that it should be at $5000, other than the promise of it being adopted on a much larger scale.
I should also note that the more attention bitcoin gets, the higher the price, the more people want to get in, the more other people notice this and want to get in too, which creates a social network-like effect where the more people that adopt it, the more value it actually has, and the more the price will stabilize.
So in this regard, speculation in a cryptocurrency is necessary to growing it on a large scale. People have to take a risk on this and they’re rewarded handsomely if it pays off. In order for this to stabilize to a point where speculation doesn’t drive the market, it has to be accepted and seen as a normalized form a currency on a very large scale. The value of bitcoin is pretty much entirely dependent on how many people use it.
But this is where I see it getting complicated. While I think Bitcoin does have a strong intrinsic value and I’d love to see this adopted on a larger scale, I wonder how much of bitcoin’s value RIGHT NOW is speculative and how much of its value is “real?” And this is what I’ve yet to figure out and where I get uneasy about investing.
I know a lot of people compare bitcoin to gold, and in a sense this is a good point - older generations have seen gold as a safe store of value, just as our younger generation sees gold as being “old” and that Bitcoin is a better store of deflationary, decentralized currency. In a sense, they’re right. And as more younger people begin adopting this, especially as these are the people already exposed to a digital word, I can see this continuing. But it should be noted that when the dollar went off the gold standard in 1979, Gold Prices spiked significantly before settling down several years later and stabilized. Could we be in the same “run up” like gold saw, if the two are compared to one another?
It’s easy to look back and see what I should’ve done, but I also feel just as much that things could have turned out very differently. This is why I’ve yet to have invested in cryptocurrency and why I’ve remained focus on real estate investing and creating passive income.

Bitcoin Q&A: Bitcoin vs. blockchain

What is the difference between Bitcoin and "blockchain"? Blockchains are only one of the foundational technologies. In an attempt to co-opt the interest around Bitcoin, companies and governments are trying to circle the square by creating centralised and permissioned versions while entirely missing the point: decentralization.
This is part of a talk which took place at Pebble Beach for the Capgemini CXOForum on November 1-3rd 2017 in Monterey, California.

"Blockchain" or Bitcoin: Understanding the differences

In this talk, Andreas explores the rise of the term "blockchain" as a counterweight to bitcoin. The term blockchain does not provide a definition, as it has been diluted to be meaningless. Saying "blockchain" simply invites questions, such as "what is the consensus algorithm". Meanwhile, bitcoin continues to offer an alternative to the traditional financial system. Andreas looks at the value of private ledgers, which he sees as having a small impact on finance, versus open, global and accessible payment and currency systems such as bitcoin which he sees as fostering a global revolution in finance and access to financial tools.

Bitcoin's Origins and the Genesis Blockade

In this talk, Andreas recounts the origins of Bitcoin, the meaning of the message embedded forever in its genesis block, and how we figured out who the banks truly serve when there was no other choice. He also speaks about what happens when money stops working, why censorship resistance was one of Bitcoin's most valuable characteristics from the start, and what possibilities lay in store with a global, voluntary financial system.
This talk took place on August 6th 2018 as part of 'The Internet of Money Tour' at the Hilton DenverInverness in Denver, Colorado: https://antonopoulos.com/event/arapahoe-libraries-talk/
